TUI partners with Allianz Partners

Allianz Partners has been appointed travel insurance provider for travel and leisure company TUI in the UK.

The new offering is available for TUI customers, as well as customers of its travel brands Marella Cruises and Crystal Ski Holidays.

TUI’s UK partnership is the latest to roll out as the firm moves towards consolidating all its European travel insurance into Allianz Partners – with Germany, Poland, Switzerland and the Nordic countries already live.

Customers will be offered a choice of single trip or annual travel insurance. TUI will also market Allianz Partners’ travel insurance online under its own brand, making it available to travelers who haven’t booked through TUI.

TUI had a travel insurance partnership with AXA, which ended in April. During the second quarter of 2024, 2.8 million guests traveled with TUI.

“With over 6.5m live policies at any one time, Allianz Partners is already the leading travel insurer in the UK. This new partnership with TUI will strengthen that position. As a specialist travel insurer, our sole focus is to make the end-to-end journey as easy as possible for customers; from slick online journeys and straightforward claims which are settled instantly by our advanced AI. Our partners trust us because of our proven ability to operate at scale and give peace of mind to their customers.” – Andrew Tolman, Head of Travel Insurance for Allianz Partners UK and Ireland.
